OH SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR “FINITE” RESOURCES BULLSHIT.

No matter how much you scream, it will still be true. You can't yell and curse it away.

Money is finite, even if we made it up. Everyone can't have everything.

Your argument rests upon the inaccurate assumption that because things are what they are, that it is inevitable that they will stay the same.

You're missing the point; everyone can have health care.

Amazing how a supposedly finite resource can be printed on a whim at the convenience of specific class of people.
